FATE
Chapter 2
Yashiro was surprised when he wake up to find Ren and Kyoko sitting in the living room ordering breakfast. When he had got in town it was in the evening and the staff for Dark Moon had got to bed so he had not been able to find out if anything had happened that day. This morning he was going to asking Kyoko to eat breakfast with him and try to figure out if anything bad had happened the day before then call Ren as soon as breakfast was over. He knew Ren would want answers when they talked and Kyoko was the fastest was to get those answers. So when Ren and Kyoko were together in the room he knew something bad had happened.
"Ren when did you get here?" Yashiro asked no longer able to wait for someone to notice him standing there.
"I just got in town a half a hour ago. To answer the question you really wanted to ask, I came because Kyoko call me and told me that she had meet with a guy yesterday who said something that made her uneasy." Ren knew that Yashiro was very surprised to see him there and he didn't blame him, after getting off the phone with Kyoko he had gone straight to the airport and totally forgot to call Yashiro with the news that Kyoko had told him.
"Now that breakfast is on its way can you fill us in on what happened?" Ren asked while inviting Yashiro to take a seat in an open chair.
Kyoko knew she had to tell the story, but a little worried of how Ren would react. "Last night I went to the public bath to relax, when I ran in to Shou's manager Shouko-san. She was telling me all about what had been happening with Shou's new CD. There is this band called The Beagles that have been coping his songs and releasing them before he can get his CD finished. We finished talking I headed out to get some sleep. As I was walking out of the bath I ran into Shou talking to Reino the lead singing from The Beagles. When I walked out Reino came over and started talking to me. He really didn't say much but what he did say was weird and a little upsetting." Kyoko stopped to compose herself.
"It is okay Kyoko tell us what happened, you are safe now." Ren said as he reached out without thinking to take her hand.
"Well he pretty much said that I looked rather becoming in a yutaka, and with wet hair it's erotic. It was not what he said as much as how he was looking at me at the time. The look in his eyes made me think he was planning on trying something. I don't know exactly how to put it in words, but it was not a nice feeling coming from him."
Ren could not believe that Reino had done that to Kyoko, not that he didn't believe that it was true but no one else was allowed to look at her that way. Now he really didn't want to leave her alone with that guy in the area. He was not going to let her out of his site till they were finished filming on location, and there is no way he would not let this guy hurt the one he loves.
A knock at the door told of the arrival of their breakfast, so Yashiro went to the door to let the room service in. As the food was laid out Yashiro noticed that both Kyoko and Ren had more they wanted to talk about, but something was holding them back. He took this chance to take his food and excuse himself. "Thanks for ordering breakfast. I better go make some calls about the photo shot and see when we can reschedule."
Ren was thankful that he hadn't had to ask Yashiro for time alone with Kyoko because he had not figured out how to do so nicely and without embarrassing Kyoko. "Thanks Yashiro, I didn't get a chance last night to call the director. I was in such a hurry to get here. Tell him if he wants to finish with the rest of the models I can finish up as soon as I am back in town."
"Sounds good, I am sure that the director will understand when I explain there was an emergency on location that could not wait." Yashiro said as he headed his room to use the phone. He had broken his cell phone once again. He really needed to find a cell phone that could last more that ten second in his hands. It always sucks to be with out a cell phone.
Back in the living room Ren and Kyoko were slowly eating their breakfast, neither one knowing where to start. Ren was hoping that Kyoko had missed his comment about not losing her, but just knew that he was not that lucky. Maybe it was a good thing. He had to tell her before it was too late.
"Ren can I ask you something?" Kyoko was really nervous to ask him about his comment last night but really needed to know what he meant. She had been thinking about it all night.
"You can ask me anything." Ren said in a soft voice trying to keep the nervousness from his voice.
"Last night you said: There is no way in hell that I am going to let anything happen to you now that I found you again. What did you mean by found me again?"
"Kyoko there is something that I have wanted to tell you for a while now, but was worried that you would hate me for keeping it from you. I know that I should have told you when I figured it out, but didn't want to lose you."
"Ren please just tell me. I am not going anywhere, and I really want to know what you are talking about."
Ren decided to hold Kyoko hand hoping that it would help her be a little more understanding. "Do you remember when you dropped that stone down the stair well and I found it?" With a little nod from Kyoko Ren continued. "You called it Corn because it was the name of the person that gave it to you right?" another nod. "Well that stone was named after me." Ren could not look at her afraid of the hurt that he was sure he would kind in her eyes.
"Corn?" Kyoko said as she lifted Ren's chin so that she could look in his eyes. "Ren what do you mean, how can you be Corn?"
"When I was little my name was Koun. I had been having problems at home, so I find myself out walking all the time. One day I met this cute, loving little girl that was upset about things that had happened at home. I knew how she felt and wanted to help but all I had was my stone that had helped me through all my problems, so I gave that stone to this girl. That girl was my first love and I never stopped thinking about her. The time I shared with her was short, but it was full of love and understanding. I wanted so much to look her up over the years, but when I left home I changed my name and changed my hair, so that I could separate from my past. Only a few people know who I really am. That first day at the agency when I met you I had this feeling that you were that little girl from all those years ago, but then when I saw you with that stone I knew that I was right."
Kyoko could not believe that Ren was the same guy that had helped her so long ago. Koun had been her first love and she was sure that she would never see him again, and that is why she had done everything for Shou over the year. He was the only other person that had noticed her. Tears started to form in her eyes as she looked again at her once lost friend and love.
"Kyoko I am so sorry that I didn't tell you before now. I didn't want to hurt you like this. I knew that I needed to tell you but I didn't want to lose you." Wiping the tears from her eyes Ren didn't know what else to tell her. He needed to know what she was thinking but wanted to give her time to process what he had just said.
"Ren you should have told me, but I understand you were scared that I would react badly. The thing is that I have been hoping that one day I would be able to find Corn once again. He was my first love and my only true love. When I met you and started to fell in love with you I felt like I was betraying him in so way. Now that I know you are Corn I am so happy that I found you again. I love you but didn't know how to tell you because I was worried that you would not share my feelings."
With that Ren could not stop himself from pulling her in to his arms. She loved him and didn't hate him for not telling her that he was Koun. "Kyoko I love you too. I was also worried that you would not share my feelings so I keep quiet but it has been getting harder and harder each day. I have been trying to figure out how to tell you. I knew I had to tell you soon or Yashiro was going to kill me and tell you for me."
"Yashiro knows?" Kyoko asked as she blushed bright red.
"Yeah, he figured out by the face that I am always happier when you are around."
"Really!" Kyoko blushed more.
"Yes really." Ren said as he leaned back a little bit Ren looked into Kyoko's eyes to see the love that was shinning there. Leaning forward slowly he kissed her with all the passion and love that he had been holding back all this time.
The kiss started soft and gentle but soon got more intense. Kyoko's hand moved to tangle in Ren's hair while her other hand grabbed his shirt to pull him closer to her. She could not get enough of his touch and God his lips felt so prefect against hers. They fit so perfectly together it almost felt like they were make for each other.
Lost in their own world of pleasure Ren and Kyoko didn't hear or see Yashiro enter the room, caused both to jumped in surprise when he cleared his voice. "Sorry to interrupt but if Kyoko does not get to make up she is going to be late for filming today."
"Yes, of course." Ren said looking at Yashiro wishing that he had not interrupted the best moment of his life. He had finally told Kyoko that he loved her, and found out she loved him too. Life was good, but it would be better if they could stay this way forever. They both had a job to do here so they had to wait till later to continue. "Do you have everything you need for filming today or do we need to go back to you room to pick anything up?"
"My costume is on set, the only thing that I need is my script to go over while I am getting my make up done." Kyoko answered wishing that she had more time alone with Ren.
"Yashiro can you go to Kyoko's room and pick up her script, while we head off to make-up?"
"Yeah sure I just need your key and where in your room it is."
"Here you go, and my script in on my bedside table. Ren you don't have to come with me to make-up it is just a long boring process."
"Will then I will be able to find out for myself how boring it is, but I am sure that as long as I am with you it will not be boring at all. Plus I can help you with your lines if you want." Ren smiled down at the woman he loved. "Come on we don't want to cause the director any problems by being late." Kissing her softly once more, they headed out the door hand in hand.
